maybe you'll tell us that we -- it's there, but we just don't see it. but there's some obvious things that perhaps we should do to correct that, one may be that the federal government's in the way. for example, with too many rules and regulations that consume time. i talked with dr. kerr win for a moment, and we've talked many times about deregulation of our education, and creating more of an environment in which innovation can occur. there's also the definition of credit hour, not having the pell grant available year round. federal aid rules that don't allow students to excel through course work. i'd like to hear your comments whether these are impediments. they make it more difficult for you to innovate. the one area that seems to me that would be obvious for more innovation. and i think i understand a lot about why it hasn't happened. it seems to me it has to happen is a more efficient use of time and facilities at colleges and universities. forth washington university's steven track ten berg once told me, you can run two complete colleges with two c

can you expand on the issue of women using their sexuality to get ahead? >> well, if you have a game in which -- okay, i believe that the miss america contest, if you count up the contests in each state and the national contest is still the single biggest source of scholarship money for women in the united states. this is crazy. but if a handsomeness contest was the biggest source of scholarship money for guys, you can bet they would be there. you know. [ laughter ] so we play the game by the rules that exist, but we need to change the rules obviously. so it's not that we're not responsible for our actions, we are. if feminism stands for anything, it's that we are responsible for our actions, but we also need to look at the context. as wilma always said, context is everything. and what choices are there? so, you know, if that's the way the game that exists, that's the game people will play. >> miley included or excluded, what is your message for today's young women? >> well, my big serious message is don't listen to me.

people can use computers. people can use robots and the like. and in that respect, even for a given distribution of educational outcomes, income distribution will widen, as the higher returns accrue to people who have the appropriate skill. so, it's hard to say entirely how to solve it. it's not a problem that can be solved quickly, but clearly trying to break down barriers to social mobility, trying to increase opportunities for training acquisition of skills, education, from a very young age, all the way through post-high school, junior college, and the like, is the basic approach. but it is a very, very difficult problem. to bring the federal reserve into it for a moment, as i said there's not much the federal reserve can do about very long-term trends like this that don't really have much to do with monetary policy. but over the shorter period, our efforts to put people back to work, and we are making extraordinary efforts to try to increase the number of jobs in our economy, that's going to be important factor reducing inequality, because o
